Caruso's Story...

My name is Caruso, and if you met me you would know why. I LOVE to meow! I'm a vocal guy who loves to run with my house mates, lay on the back of the couch and nap, and let the dog know that I'm in charge around here. My foster mom says I am the softest kitty ever!! When I feel like it I let her scratch my head and sometimes I even let her rub my belly. Otherwise, I just like to sit near her so she knows I'm there. My favorite game is to hide under the covers and wait for one of the other cats to jump on the bed, then I scare them!! I have purrfect litter box skills and table manners.

Please contact NTCR AT 214.454.9395 should you have any concerns or questions.

Please note: We appreciate all interest in our cats and kittens, but we are an all volunteer organization. Please be patient with regard to a call back. Should you need to surrender the cat you adopted from NTCR , contact us at ntcr@northtexascatrescue.com.

We also post our adoptable cats on Petfinder.com, Adopt-a-pet.com. Facebook and on our website.

NTCR works primarily with Collin CountyAnimal Shelter Services. We appreciate their hard work. To the extent of our resources, we do our best to take in our system cats/kittens that are injured , too young to survive on their own, pregnant/nursing mother cats etc… foster them, vet them and place them through our adoption program in loving permanent home.Spay/neuter public education

We firmly believe in educating and assisting the public about the need to spay/neuter their pets.
